Chapter 1175 – The Cursed Hospital
”Ghosts with warmth under their eyes? Isn’t that a human with a temperature under its eyes?” Chen Ge was somewhat unable to understand Dr. Sun’s words.
”Dr. Sun! Do you have antibiotics here?” Patient number two’s voice came out from inside the emergency room, “Just after bandaging the wound and only stopping the bleeding, the wound on his chest suddenly deteriorated again, with a large amount of pus flowing out!”
”The wound suddenly deteriorated?” Chen Ge also ran over, he felt that it couldn’t be that coincidental.
Entering the inner room, Chen Ge saw bandages and all sorts of miscellaneous items all over the floor, at this time, Zhang Jingjiu was unconscious on the operating table, his chest had stopped rising and falling.
”He’s still alive, he’s just lost consciousness, but if we let the wound continue to deteriorate, then it’ll be hard for him to make it through this night.” Patient number two gasped, his hands were covered in blood and he looked a little scary.
”Why did the wounds suddenly deteriorate?”
”I don’t know, probably because the wound is too deep.” Dr. Fang stood next to the operating table wearing gloves, he looked very professional, “I need hydrogen peroxide to rinse the external wounds and sterilize them with iodine vapors, by the way, there are black silk threads sticking to the flesh on his wounds, he might be infected with some kind of fungus, to cure him he has to do the surgery under a sterile environment to be able to do it.”
Dr. Fang’s head was covered in sweat: “I haven’t done similar surgeries before, and the tools here are not complete, we still need to find a professional doctor!”
After saying that, he looked at Dr. Sun and Dr. Gao, “Let’s put our treatment aside for now, saving this patient’s life is important.”
”It’s useless for you to look at me, Dr. Gao and I are psychiatric doctors, I’m afraid our knowledge of surgery is not as good as yours. Let’s move to the other wards now, if we are lucky, we might be able to meet other night shift doctors.” Dr. Sun said casually.
”That’s all we can do now, it’s not easy for him to move physically, me and number two will guard this place for treatment, and you guys will go together to find the other night shift doctors.” Dr. Fang and patient number two tried to do everything they could to slow down Zhang Jingjiu’s pain, but the ingenious woman couldn’t cook without rice, without proper medical equipment and surgical environment, they didn’t dare to casually move the knife on Zhang Jingjiu’s body, in case it caused a massive infection, then Zhang Jingjiu would surely die.
”Should we operate separately?” Patient number five felt that there was something wrong, “The murderer is still in the hospital, it’s easy for us to be broken up by him on each side when we separate.”
”This patient can’t withstand the tossing and turning anymore, carrying him along will also affect the speed, the best way is to place him here for the time being, this will also benefit his condition.” From the time Dr. Fang was admitted to medical school, his teachers had constantly told him one thing, a healer’s heart, if you can save no matter what, you must go and save.
”Number one, think carefully?” Patient number five wasn’t afraid of death, he seemed to be worried about patient number four’s safety, “Now not only is this patient in a life and death crisis, all of us are also the target of the murderer, in order to save someone who may not necessarily be able to be saved, letting all the survivors take the risk on their backs, do you think it’s worth it?”
”What risk did he make you carry? We’re just splitting up for the time being, some of us are going to look for medicine, doctors, and help, and the other part is guarding this place.” Patient number two was a little disgruntled, “There may only be one murderer, there are seven of us, we don’t have to fear him too much.”
Number two seemed to have often dealt with all sorts of vicious criminals in the past, so he didn’t show a lot of fear, and even thought about catching the murderer.
”Leave three people behind, and the remaining four go out to look for medicine. Patient number one has to keep an eye on the patient at all times, he has to stay behind, Dr. Sun and Dr. Gao know the way outside, one of the two doctors has to follow us.” Patient number two was thinking clearly, not like a patient at all.
In just a few minutes, patient number two had already divided the team.
Chen Ge, Dr. Sun, Dr. Gao, and Patient #2 went outside to look for medication and other night doctors, while Dr. Fang, Patient #4, and Patient #5 stayed behind to watch over Zhang Jingjiu.
”You guys move fast, the wound is already oozing pus and this is deteriorating a little too fast.”
”Lock the door, we’ll come back immediately when we find someone.” In fact, at the very beginning, patient number two was not prepared to let Chen Ge go out, because Chen Ge had trouble with his legs and feet, but both Dr. Gao and Dr. Sun seemed to be unwilling to separate from Chen Ge, so patient number two had no choice but to let Chen Ge go out.
Pushing open the door of the emergency room, Chen Ge’s mind instantly conjured up the figure of that other Dr. Sun, he knew that the other party was hidden in the darkness, and might be watching him at this time.
”Those things that patient number two needs are on the fourth floor, but I don’t recommend going to the fourth floor to pick up the medicines, it’s better to go to other wards to be on the safe side.” Dr. Sun’s words were as if he was deliberately leading Chen Ge to inquire.
”Why can’t we go to the fourth floor? Is the room door locked?” Chen Ge was also cooperative.
”The dean’s office used to be on the fourth floor of the fourth ward, then after the first dean committed suicide, the new dean moved his office elsewhere.” Dr. Sun’s expression was calm, but what he said revealed a great deal of information to Chen Ge.
”The first old director of this hospital committed suicide? Right here in this hospital?” Chen Ge became more and more curious.
”En, this matter is taboo in the hospital, and very few people will talk about it.” Dr. Sun lowered his voice: “This hospital used to be the biggest hospital in Xinhai, built in Xinhai New District, but then for some unknown reason, people always died in the hospital. At first it was a medical accident, the deaths were of critical patients, then cleaning staff started to go missing, and then later on it was nurses and doctors.”
”They were murdered, weren’t they?”
”If they were murdered, then the later things wouldn’t have happened.” Dr. Sun said meaningfully, “The cause of death of each of those deceased is clear and obvious, most of them died by suicide, and there is still a small portion of bodies that have not been found until now.”
”What you said is quite scary.” Chen Ge felt a cold chill on his arm, and Dr. Gao beside him had a very low body temperature, similar to that of a corpse.
”The truth is going to be even scarier than what I told you.” Dr. Sun and Chen Ge walked side by side, “I remember the first dead person who didn’t deserve to die was in the fourth ward, technically it was a medical malpractice, the patient’s family was so angry they came to the hospital to cause a scene, scaring the doctors so much that they ended up hiding in the morgue. The dean personally stepped in to negotiate with the patient’s family, and finally managed to fool the patient’s family into leaving, but when they came to the morgue they found that the doctor was dead.”
”Dead? What was the cause of death?”
”The result given by the Xinhai police was suicide, and the scene did look just like a suicide, that doctor hung himself with a shroud and died of asphyxiation, and his body was hanging on the door beam.”
”Isn’t it a bit hasty to directly judge it as a suicide?” Chen Ge felt that there was a problem, but the police judged the case on evidence, and everything was based on facts.
”That doctor committed suicide, in fact, we can all understand, he was already living a messy life, plus there was a serious medical incident, he had little background, he couldn’t keep his job, not to mention that he might even get in trouble with the lawsuit. After enduring so much pressure, it’s inevitable that he won’t be able to think straight.” Dr. Sun seemed to be looking for reasons for that doctor’s death.
”The second person who had an accident was a night shift nurse, the surveillance showed that she had been lying on her back in the duty room and remained in the same position the entire night, and it was only in the morning when someone else turned in that shift that they realized that her body was already cold.” Dr. Sun’s voice and expression didn’t change at all as he said these extremely horrible things, as if he was simply telling a story.
”When the doctors and nurses had accidents one after another, the dean had an emergency meeting, and instead of thinking about solving the problem at the root, he was prepared to suppress all of these things. The first dean had his own considerations, which might also have something to do with the fact that Xinhai was vigorously building a new district at the time, and if everything goes well, the new district where Xinhai Central Hospital is located might even surpass the old city.”
”As a matter of fact, we can’t blame the first dean, they had sufficient evidence to prove that the deceased committed suicide, and to consider the issue based on the premise of suicide, then it’s normal for them to make such a judgment.”
Dr. Sun, Chen Ge, and Dr. Gao walked side by side along the hospital’s darkened corridors, with the second patient following behind with a tight frown.
”The third accidental death was a male caretaker who suddenly went crazy and jumped from the building window while inspecting the wards.”
”No one knew what he had seen in the hallway that day, and the police wondered what kind of thing could frighten an adult male into jumping.”
”The atmosphere in the hospital gradually became strange, the doctors and nurses who knew the truth were on edge, and although the dean wanted to suppress the matter, all sorts of bizarre things later reached the ears of the patients.”
”Coincidentally, the fourth one to die was a patient from the inpatient department.” Dr. Sun turned his head and glanced at Chen Ge as he said this, “That patient lived in the third ward, he suddenly went crazy at zero midnight, saying that there was a ghost hiding under his bed, and asked the doctor on duty to change his ward in the middle of the night.”
”The doctor of course did not agree, but could not let the patient fool around, after he fed the patient medication, he stayed in the ward for a long time, until the patient was asleep he left.”
”But what that doctor did not expect is that he had not left long, the patient ran to the roof of the hospital and jumped.”
”The patient died and the hospital tried to put the blame squarely on the doctor, but the doctor also felt aggrieved because the door to the penthouse room, which would normally be locked, was open that night.”
”The fifth person to have an accident was this unlucky doctor who wanted to find out who opened the penthouse door that night.”
”The hospital only installed surveillance at the corner of the building, so the doctor recorded everyone who had appeared at the corner that day, and it was said that he watched the surveillance until very late that day.”
”In order to clear his name, the doctor was very serious, and in the end he really did make a discovery on the surveillance. The night the patient jumped, a man in a red coat appeared around the corner of the building and was headed upstairs.”
”You know what the scariest thing is?”
”The doctor only saw the man in the red coat go up the stairs on the surveillance, but he didn’t see him go down.”
”There’s only one way around the corner of the hospital leading to the top floor, and the doctor’s mind was reeling as he looked at the time shown on the monitor, and the man in red hadn’t come down the stairs until the patient jumped.”
”That is to say, when the patient jumped off the building, the man in red was on the top floor, and might even be standing right next to the patient.”
”The doctor finally found the murderer, and he was determined to uncover this person.”
”He sat in the surveillance room, staring intently at the monitor, wanting to see exactly when the man went downstairs and where he went afterward.”
”But something that gradually made the doctor feel uneasy happened, he pulled up all the surveillance cameras, and it seemed that the man in red had never come down from upstairs until now!”
”The doctor began to panic, he constantly consoled himself, maybe he missed it, or maybe the surveillance didn’t capture it when the other person came down.”
”With this thought in his mind, the doctor kept changing the surveillance video, his hands were busy, and he finally found the red-clothed figure on the display.”
”The other person was standing right behind him, and the moment the screen went black, he saw himself and the red dress behind himself.”
”The doctor went crazy, he told everyone he met about this experience, but no one believed him, and he ended up dying in the garbage in the fourth ward.”
Dr. Sun seemed to be doing more than just telling stories, it was as if he was trying to tell Chen Ge something deeper through this.
”The sixth deceased was the caretaker who found the doctor’s body, usually a very ordinary person without any character flaws or anything special, he inexplicably returned to the hospital the same night he found the doctor’s body, and the next day his body appeared amongst the garbage heap as well.”
”Within a very short period of time, six consecutive dead people appeared, and the dean couldn’t hide it any longer; he ordered the garbage heap and the ward where the accident happened to be sealed, and he also welded the door leading to the roof of the hospital building shut.”
”He thought he would be able to rest on his laurels, but who knew he became the seventh dead man.”
”The death of the dean was a mystery, he went back to his office after taking care of business as he usually did, except that when he went back he never came out.”
”The next day the doctor saw the dean’s body in his office, and he spent the night writing death all over the walls of his office.”
”No one knew why the dean suddenly went crazy, everyone speculated whether this hospital had suffered some kind of curse, otherwise it simply couldn’t be explained, how so many horrible and bizarre things had happened in just a few weeks.”
Chen Ge had thought that Dr. Sun’s story would end here, and he was about to open his mouth to speak when Dr. Sun suddenly stared at him with that very}human gaze, as if he wanted to see through him.
”The dean was the seventh dead person, from that time onwards, the most unlucky number in this hospital is seven, once seven people enter the hospital at the same time, then all seven of them will surely suffer from the curse and die one after another.”
”Isn’t it a bit late for you to tell me this now?” Chen Ge felt that the Dr. Sun in front of him was familiar and strange, “Counting you two doctors, we came out of the hospital room with exactly seven people.”
”Thinking about how the seven of them died should help you.” Dr. Sun twisted his head, the scars on his neck and cheeks were slowly opening up.
